System Overview
The Sony UPX-C300 digital printing system is designed
to allow you to take passport photos and similar ID
pictures with a digital camera, and then print them at
high image quality and resolution (403 dpi) in full color
or black & white.
Two types of print paper are supported: UPC-X46 series,
and UPC-X34 series.
The system adopts Bluetooth wireless technology,
which enables communication between the camera and
printer without using cables.
System Configuration
You can send images from the camera to the printer without a cable.
For details on the Bluetooth function, see “Setting the Bluetooth Functions” on page 52.

System Overview
Flash Modes and Example
Shooting Conditions
The camera offers three flash modes.
When setting up, make sure the distance between the
camera and the subject (L) is set so that apparent face
size fits the selected frame (guidelines) at about
1.8 meter. Minor adjustments to apparent face size can
be made with the zoom.
Auto Flash ()
The built-in flash fires at optimum brightness for a
subject about 1.8 meter away.
Use the v and V control buttons to set a negative EV
value when the distance L is less than 1.8 meter, or a
positive EV value when the distance is more than
1 meter. Be sure to take a test picture to check the
results. This mode is suitable for indoor ID portraits in
which the built-in flash is the main light source and a
shadow-clearing flash is connected to the camera by
synchronization cord.
Forced flash + manual exposure mode
()
You can manually set aperture and, shutter speed, and
select one of seven flash intensity levels (2 0.5EV) for
the built-in flash before shooting. This mode is suitable
for shooting portraits in which the built-in flash acts as a
trigger for the main light source, an external flash
connected to the camera by synchronization cord.

Preparing the Printer
Before using the printer for the first time, perform the
following steps to insert the print cartridge and paper
tray. These preparations are not required at every use.
Perform them only when necessary.
Print packs
In order to print, a print pack designed for this printer
(UPC-X46 series, or UPC-X34 series) (not supplied) is
required. A print pack is a set consisting of print paper
and a print cartridge.
Notes
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.
• Only use print packs designed for this printer.
• Always use sets of print cartridges and print paper that
match in size. Using a print cartridge together with
print paper of a different size may produce incorrect
printing results or cause paper jams and other
problems.
• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the image
darker and may damage the printer.
• Avoid touching the printing surface of the print paper
and the ink ribbon of the print cartridge, and avoid
storing print packs in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or
ink ribbon may lower the print quality.
• When removing partially used print cartridges and
print paper from the printer for storage, store them in
their original packaging.

Preparations
To load the print paper
Note

Print paper
Riffle through the print paper before loading it with
the printing surface (the side without imprinting)
facing up. Make sure that the arrow on the
protective sheet is pointing in the same direction as
the arrow on the tray. You can load up to 25 sheets
when using the UPC-X46 series and 30 sheets when
using the UPC-X34 series.
2
Remove the protective sheet on the print paper.
Note
Be sure to keep the protective sheet as it is used
when cleaning the inside of the printer.

Insert the paper tray into the printer until it clicks
into place.

Notes on loading the print paper
• Load UPC-X46 series print paper into the large paper
tray and UPC-X34 series print paper into the small
paper tray. Mismatch between the paper and tray sizes
may result in a paper jam.
• Do not remove or insert the paper tray while printing
is in progress.
• If the print paper does not feed automatically, the
lamp lights and a message displays. Pull out the
paper tray, and check for a paper jam.
• When loading additional print paper into the tray,
make sure that the total number of sheets does not
exceed 25 for the UPC-X46 or 30 for the UPC-X34
series. Do not load different types of paper in the tray
together. Doing so may result in a paper jam.
• Do not write or print text on the print paper before
printing. The printer may not be able to print on paper
that has been written on. When writing on an image
after printing, use an oil-based ink pen. Text from
word processors cannot be printed on the print surface.
• Do not attach stickers or tape on the print paper before
printing.
• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the image
darker and may damage the printer.
• Do not fold or bend the print paper before printing.
Doing so may damage the printer.
• When paper is ejected after printing, do not allow
more than five sheets to accumulate in the paper tray.
Doing so may result in a paper jam.
Notes on storage
• Avoid storage in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight.
• Do not store print paper sheets with their printing
surfaces touching each other. Also, do not allow
printing surfaces to remain in contact with plastic or
rubber materials containing vinyl chloride or
plasticizers for extended periods of time. Doing so
may result in discoloration or bleaching.
• When removing unused print paper from the printer
for storage, store it in its original packaging.

Notes
• Never put your hand into the cartridge slot as the
inside can reach high temperatures.
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.
• If the print cartridge does not insert properly, remove
it once before reinserting it. If the ink ribbon is too
slack to be loaded, remove the slack by winding the
ink ribbon in the direction of the arrow while pressing
the spool. This is the only time the ink ribbon should
be wound.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon or place the print cartridge
in a dusty location. Fingerprints or dust on the ink
ribbon may lower the print quality.
• Do not remove or insert print cartridges while printing
is in progress.
Notes on storage
• Avoid storage in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight.
• When removing a partially used print cartridge for
